Lucky Man $40 Leedy Set Last viewed: 8 hours ago

Posts: 6 Threads: 3

Here's some pics of my flea market find in Tulsa OKlahoma. I'm a gutair player and thougt it would be handy to have a set of drums around. I passed on these at first the guy wanted $50. Went home and looked on the internet for about 5 minutes and immediatly went back wilth cash. Walked in and the guy says I'll take $40. The set is a Shelly Manne 1958 Set NO.11 (I think) also includes a 1937-38 WFL Twin Senative snare. And the almost famous mispelled "Shelley" on the high hat pedal casting. Calfskin heads on the floor drum sound great. This set is looked like it was packed up after a gig and left alone for 40 years. I would be cool to know who played it but I think it may have been the devil cause now I'm obessed with vintage drums.

Blair is right, didn't even consider that. You are closer to $2500 with all the vintage peripherals.

Deals like this warm the heart, they do exist....too bad it happened to someone besides me though!LoLoLoLo
